Ah now I'm not the only one around here that outweighs Mr Jackson. This is an internet forum after all, there's not likely to be too many lightweights.

The best fighter in the world Anderson Silva moved up to light heavyweight(205) the other night and knocked out James Irvin in 61 seconds.No one can compete with him at 185,id love to see him fight some of the bigger names at 205.He said he's going to move between the different weights.
UFC 87 is on the 9th of Augest and theres some big fights
Georges St-Pierre Vs. Jon Fitch
Brock Lesnar Vs. Heath Herring
Kenny Florian Vs. Roger Huerta
And Cheick Kongo is fighting some nobody
Feckin Setanta got the TV rights and I don't have the Setanta premium package. I was just starting to really get into it on Bravo, watched the full series of The Ultimate Fighter, was starting to appreciate the different skills involved and then the rights go to Setanta!
Anybody see Fedor's destruction of of Tim Sylvia in Affliction? (this gimmick won't last)
The talk is that Fedor and Randy are going to get it on and thats what Affliction are going to try and market their circus on, that and Tito might show up in it
UFC 87 was crazy,GSP comfortablely beat Fitch and it looks like BJ Penn is going to step up to 170 to fight GSP.Delighted for Brock Lesnar aswell.
After football MMA is the best sport in the world,its action packed and so intense and it does not get enough recognition over here
Double post
I watched some of it last night and enjoyed it. Lesnar was a beast but the fight I most enjoyed was the Kenny Florian one. Fantastic tachnical display from him. Huerta is one tough cookie, no wonder he didn't want to get into a brawl with him. :eek:
Lesnar v. Couture, 15th November
Should be lively :D
Could not belive it til I seen it
http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=14275
It gets better
Quote:
Since Couture's departure from the UFC last October, the company crowned an interim Heavyweight champion, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Nogueira will defend his interim title against Frank Mir at UFC's December show. The winners of Couture-Lesnar and Nogueira-Mir will then square off next spring to determine the undisputed UFC Heavyweight champion.
Class,I really like Lesnar but he dosent deserve a title shot.Nogueira and Kongo and the 2 best heavyweights imo.
have you seen him slammed on his head against randleman? check about 49 secs into this clip. fedor rolls over a minute later and submits him!

as an aside, i think pride is a little tougher than ufc. better organization anyway, bigger crowds and i think the rules are more lenient too, you can kick/knee on the ground etc. and they have open weight grand prixs!
p.s. for the affliction fedor/sylvia fight, try here:

Thats a pretty crazy slam,even crazier recovery.
Ive read something about a PRIDE/UFC merge.I think this can only be bad.I went to event schedule on the PRIDE website and its all UFC events.Ive never seen a PRIDE event,just clips on the net.All that ive seen of Fedor is great,he has fought some freaks like Hong Man Choi and zuluzinho
ugh i haven't read about the merger! i'd rather they stay separate too, it gives each other competition. fedor's ridiculous, he'll fight anything. i've only seen him seriously challenged once (krokop) and in that fight he simply comfortable and dominating. silva is a terrific fighter too though, this is the same guy that destroyed that american fella with the brutal knee attacks right?
